HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- A jury found Laurence Lovette guilty Tuesday of first-degree murder in the 2008 shooting death of UNC student body president Eve Carson.

They also found Lovette guilty of kidnapping, robbery with firearm, felony larceny and possession of stolen goods.

Following the jury's verdict, Judge Allen Baddour sentenced Lovette to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

"This a difficult day," Judge Baddour said. "I sense from the family of Ms. Carson that they sense the inadequacy of the court system to make this situation right. This act has no place in our society. It is not activity that we can allow to occur in our society. The life Ms. Carson led was too short. But, I know she continues to be an inspiration for thousands in this community and across this country. That is a small consolation."

Lovette was out on parole, and, from what we have read, an unsupervised parole because of a failed system. The system allowed Lovette opportunity to kill like the filthy savage IT is..inadequacy of the court system to make this situation right. This act has no place in our society. jmho.b.e.

I'll assume there's no death penalty in NC? So now we can give this 'misunderstood negro' food and shelter for the rest of his life with our tax dollars.

As I recall from an earlier article, in a thread that had to be nuked sadly, one was too young for the death penalty at the time of the crime, and the other agreed to finger his partner for a "lighter sentence". Basically they played the system to make sure they both stayed alive, which is something they denied this poor girl.

Exactly, basically all parole/probation is unsupervised because the case load vs. staffing numbers ratio is insanely out of proportion.

At least he got life without any chance of parole. A life sentance with chance of parole usually equals a 20-30 prison term. I do agree agree it's an outrage that he or preferably both of them are not on death row. North Carolina does have the death penalty and 158 convicts awaiting death.

WHAT A DISGRACE!! Now us taxpayers have to support these demons for the rest of their lives. Last time I checked it costs 26,000$ per year to keep a man in prison
